As far as I'm aware White Potatoes, and other Nightshades are Avoids for Rheumatic Arthiritis. But mainly you need to avoid the skins and seeds of the other Solanaceaes. There are some good italian Tomato saucers that are perfect for this, and also make exquisite berry and grape juice as well.

As for BTD there are many other variables why Potato would be Neutral and Peppers Beneficial. For Potatoes its the STA Lectin.

Part of the reason I believe, instinctively, latino cultures have roasted their peppers first...

Someone posted elsewhere that celeriac is a good substitute for potatoes. They suggested mashing them with mushrooms and onions. I am going to give them a try, if I can find them. I have arthritis, also. Don't know if they are ok for B's however. I love all the new ideas on this message board!

If you love mashed potatoes try this...Cook a whole head of cauliflower (pieces) and put in the blender with whatever is allowable for your bloodtype...butter or ghee and a big scoop of sourcream...a whole head of roasted garlic ( squeeze the individual cloves out) and then salt and chives or a bit of dill....it is so good you will never missed mashed potatoes again...Promise....My family of 5 B's love it.....

Mom to 4 B's...living with extreme food allergies to wheat, all dairy, eggs and pineapple !! ( Me, not the kids..)

Trish It was just parts not actually cups- we do not use cups here in Denmark Remember to use so kind of fluffy apples- cooking type- and I would add butter or ghee if allowed or oliveoil- to make it smooth

girly, you're killin' me........that sounds SOOOOO good and I can't have most of that stuff!! But for those of you who can, sounds like a killer recipe! I can believe one would never miss potatoes w/ that around. !

For me Trish that is really an autumn/winterdish but if you feel like it go ahead- but I think you´ll have a problem getting the ingredient- at least I have to wait for September- for the Celeriac - and maybe to Octobre before the cooking apples are handy ?!!

Celeriac - I seem to recall seeing it sold under some other goofball name in the states. And just as often, seen it mislabeled as Fennel Bulb.

So Schluggell, you said an interesting thing....that maybe we could eat the flesh of peppers? Or tomatoes? Without the seeds and skins? WOW! That would make a huge difference in my life! I have arthritis, the osteo kind, and do not eat nightshades now, but .....????? What do you think ? You can make good sauces with the flesh alone!!!
